Irish Chain
Irish Mythology - the Legend of the Children of Lir
Bodh Dearg was elected King of the Tuatha De Dannan much to the chagrin of Lir, his main rival. To appease him, Bodh Dearg sent him one of his daughters, Aoibh, to take as his wife. She bore him four children, a girl named Fionnula and three sons Aodh, Fiachra and Conn. Aiobh died, so Bodh Dearg sent another of his daughters, Aoife to marry Lir. Aoife soon became jealous of the love that Lir had for his four children so she decided to banish them. She turned them into swans, when Bodh heard of this he transformed Aoife into an air demon for eternity. The children, as swans were forced to spend three hundred years on Lough Derravaragh, Co. Westmeath; three hundred years on the Sea of Moyle, lying between Co. Antrim and the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland and three hundred years on Inis Gluaire, off the coast of Co. Mayo. After nine hundred years they eventually were granted sanctuary on Inis Gluaire by a monk named MacCaomhog. The children were tied together with silver chains to ensure that they would always stay together. However, Deoch the wife of the King of Leinster Lairgean demanded that she wanted the swans. Lairgean attacked the monastery on Inis Gluaire, however during the raid, the chains were broken and the swans transformed into old, withered people, before they died they each were baptised. According to some accounts the site of Lir's castle is currently occupied by Tullynally Castle, Co. Westmeath, home of the Earl of Longford, Tullynally is the anglicised form of Tullach na n-eala or 'hill of the swan'.

What do you think of this yarn about the poor irish chap who won the 1st price on a lotto ticket?
one day this irish fellow who was poor as a church mouse jumped on his ramshackle push bike and rode off to the shop to buy himself a couple of fags and on the way the bike chain broke and he was mending it. Took him a long time and been tired he dosed off into a nap by the side of the road ok
He then realised that he had won a huge price on a lottery win , went out and got a new car , new clothes and then managed to pick up a gorgeous lass whom he met.
So the lass was sitting next to him in his car while he tried to start the engine and then turned the steering wheel .
At once he woke up from his dream holding onto the back wheel of his old bike and trying to steer it.
Then he realised it was all a dream.
Dont your heart go out to this poor old unfortunate bogger?
Tony,
Come to ireland and it's a very popular yarn you know
Ti's the tale of a man who thought dreaming and luck would replace hard work. One has to remember that the bike was never fixed so the dreamer ended up with nothing and never got his fags (cigarettes) nor his beer. It should also be noted that he had it so completely "bass ackwards" that he was trying to steer the bike with the rear wheel...
